Feed Us Back: Comments of the Week

Some kids will eat anything.

– Wow, turns out mini-sized eaters are a touchy subject! Lemmonex: “Kid food” is bunk. Kids will eat what you put in front of them. Parents need to stop acting like short order cooks and teach them nutrition and healthy eating habits from the get go. Chicken nuggets should be a rare treat, not a thrice weekly occurrence.

Nikki: I was the kid who peeled edamame for snack during recess, while my friends peeled string cheese. Parents perpetrate the “picky eaters.” They condone that bullshit. There was only one option for dinner: eat what I give you. There was no “make yourself a sandwich” option.

Meanwhile, gansie stands up for the McD’s parenting model:

Toby Young: Jealous of Padma’s Scar?

toby

Do you know what makes for a really disappointing meal?  Concrete.

That’s what our buddy Toby Young discovered when he was part of a car/bicycle collision.  I’ll let you guess which vehicle Toby was occupying in this little get-together. At least they didn’t have to shave his head to put in the stitches.  Get well, brother, and start wearing a helmet…we wouldn’t want you to injure the part of your brain that comes up with snappy put-downs.

Toby’s full Twitterfied run-down of the event after the jump.

blondies-1-519-x-374

I have no idea why, but my sister always brings out the baking in me. I guess it’s because it’s a lot harder to ship fettuccine alfredo than a chocolate goodie. (SAG – don’t be mad, but you were in Italy over your birthday so I’m pretty sure anything I sent you would have been poop comparatively.) We all know by now that it isn’t my strong point. I feel like that old relative that tells the SAME STORY every time you see her. Yes, Gansie endeavored to bake and then it got fucked up. Well, if you want to hear that same ole song again, listen up, deary.

Sherry loves white chocolate, so for her 22nd birthday I wanted to send her a homemade something featuring white chocolate. I thought about cookies again but then stumbled upon a Nigella Lawson recipe from How to be a Domestic Goddess: White Chocolate and Macadamia Brownies. Fuck nuts in brownies. I don’t want multi-textural elements in my dessert – I want smooth, fudgy goodness. So instead of nuts I subbed in regular chocolate chips. Besides that SLIGHT change, I followed the recipe PERFECTLY. I read it over many, many times before even starting. I even remembered to let the butter rise to room temperature.
